Very nice, and impressive. Very talented you are! Thanks for sharing. I just pick one of these up at HL. 👏

Lots of good tips. Thanks, to all!

Thanks Lenny, I did see some other posts about the fitting issues. Tried to work around them. The glass was very thick on this model. On to my next build shortly. Tried not to get to discourage on this one. 😆

Thanks for the replies Espo and Steve and I notice on the Duster the wind shield was very thick, probably taking up space where the Dash should tuck in. I did use a Dremel to grind down the sides of the dash. Found that in another post. Good tips ! I will be test fitting more closely for sure! Thank You! Much appreciated! Sparky👍✌️

I need some tips mainly on pre fitting. This was my latest build. By far the most difficult. Fitting the body to the chassis was pretty challenging. I did take it apart to refit it. I ground down the corners of the dash on each side and did fit better, but still leaves a lot to be desired. I am just getting back into the hobby since I retired. What is the process you use for pre fitting the interior and chassis to the body? Also the stance on my latest builds always looks like the back end needs to be jacked up. I know some models have little blocks between the shackles and the chassis to raise the rear end. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated. I will be advancing my skills adding window trim on my next builds. Thanks in advance. Sparky

Thanks TA Mike, I will do that. Lots of good info to digest!

Hello All, Starting a new build and getting my tool and paints together. After many years out of the hobby.First there are a lot of new paints out there. My question(s) do the small detailed parts have to be primed?I got set of Testor Acrylic Paint (brush) set so wonder what the prep work is. I plan on spraying and priming the larger parts with enamel. I never primed the smaller detailed parts when I was using enamel (brush). And I never used acrylic paint before. I guess I need some education from some experienced builders on the painting scene.Thanks in advance.

Newbie here from Detroit area. Just retired getting back into the hobby since I was in my early teens. Looking forward to building some good projects. Got lots of questions. Mainly going to do older classic Mopars. This seems to be a very informative Forum. Thanks! Looks to be the best Model forum out there.
